RACE 2
- Post Time: 4:27 PM
- Purse: $7,000
- Type: ALLOWANCE
- Distance: 1 mile
- Conditions: For Three Year Olds And Upward Which Have Never Won Two Races
Race 2 Runners and Odds Forecast
- 1 Mascarpone, C Fackler, 6/1
- 2 Praise Be to God, S A Bethke, 10/1
- 3 Captain John, F Arrieta, 6/1
- 4 Mingo Born, SCRATCHED
- 5 Best Trick Yet, R Martinez, 7/2
- 6 Eastside Boy, J L Olesiak, 3/1
- 7 Banana Pepper, A Martinez, 5/2
Race 2 Prediction and Pick
The three outside horses are the three favorites in this race, with Banana Pepper, ridden by Armando Martinez, as the 5/2 moneyline favorite. I personally like the second-favored horse, Eastside Boy, at 3/1, with veteran jockey Jake Olesiak in the irons. Not only does Jake have a better wins/WPS score, but Eastside Boy has moneyed seven times in his 16 career starts.
Race 2 Tip
Only real longshot in this race is Praise Be to God at 10/1, piloted by Scott Bethke. Unfortunately, this five-year-old gelding scored his only win (and only money finish out of seven starts) back in 2018. Bethke has a good record, but I don’t think it’s enough to pull Praise Be to God out of his slump.

RACE 4
- Post Time: 5:21 PM
- Purse: $8,800
- Type: ALLOWANCE OPTIONAL CLAIMING
- Distance: 6 furlongs
- Conditions: For Certified Nebraska Bred Fillies And Mares Three Years Old And Upward Which Have Never Won Three Races Or Claiming Price $7,500
Race 4 Runners and Odds Forecast
- 1 Chamber Doors, F Arrieta, 9/2
- 2 Ubetcha Ima Bumper, C Fackler, 6/1
- 3 P R Girl Crush, A Martinez, 15/1
- 4 Hold Fast Kat, N Haar, 10/1
- 5 Judge On the Run, J L Olesiak, 5/2
- 6 Trepi’s Trpl Crown, D Wood, 8/1
- 7 Mine for a Song, M T Luark, 10/1
- 8 Jamacian Me Money, R Martinez, 12/1
- 9 Lovesaflyin, S A Bethke, 7/2
Race 4 Prediction and Pick
I’m going with the third-favored horse in this race, and my reasons are obvious. At 9/2, Chamber Doors has it all: Pole position, solid record of starts (8 money finishes, three of them wins), and Francisco Arietta, the only jockey at Fonner Park scoring higher in Wins/WPS than Olesiak. Could be a nail-biter, but Chamber Doors will prevail.
Race 4 Tip
All of the probable winners in this match are among the top three moneyline choices, so save your longshot money.

RACE 8
- Post Time: 7:09 PM
- Purse: $8,400
- Type: ALLOWANCE OPTIONAL CLAIMING
- Distance: 6 furlongs
- Conditions: For Three Year Olds And Upward Which Have Never Won Four Races Or Claiming Price $10,000
Race 8 Runners and Odds Forecast
- 1 Luckynsuccessful, J Journet, 12/1
- 2 Dun Sober, E McNeil, 8/1
- 3 Top of the Page, J L Olesiak, 8/1
- 4 Spoon Boss, D Wood, 6/1
- 5 For the Hustle, C Fackler, 20/1
- 6 Masterful Stride, B McNeil, 15/1
- 7 Lovethatcause, N Haar, 5/2
- 8 Knight Disruptor, A Martinez, 5/1
- 9 Mallory’s Bandit, F Arrieta, 4/1
- 10 London Legacy, S A Bethke, 12/1
Race 8 Prediction and Pick
I’m sticking with the 5/2 moneyline favorite in this race, Lovethatcause, with Nathan Haar in the irons. Lovethatcause is no slouch: Out of 22 career starts, he’s moneyed in 18, with 4 of those wins.
Race 8 Tip
At 12/1, Jarred Journet’s mount, Luckynsuccessful, might be just that, what with the pole position and a solid record of career starts—14 starts, 9 money finishes, 4 of which were wins. Certainly worth a look. Incidentally, the other 12/1 longshot—London Legacy—has one of the better starting records in this field but has raced only once in 2020, and his last win was nearly a year ago. Put your longshot money on Luckynsuccessful.
